Bath repair at your home in FY2
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
What you will pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repair or replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in FY2
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Blackpool and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for FY2
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for FY2?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
